First Impression (Winter 2014-2015): Absolute Duo (5.12/10) - I have no Word


~My First Impresson~

I knew from the light novel, that this one is going to be a ecchi, harem fan service based anime. So, I wasn't expecting much of it. But after watching the first episode, I'm completely speechless...... where is that promised ecchi and fan service? With all the new big breasted girls in other anime, this one is different with small boobs. The female characters are designed like loli with a mix of chibi flavor... not sexy at all, and not ecchi. If you look closely to the image I added in this review, all three girls look exactly same except the hair and eye color. Even the male characters are small in height and chibi like. I don't know what the animators were thinking. As for the animation, not sure whether it's really this bad or is it because of my source. There are enough comedy in it, but because of how they are presented, I failed to laugh. Don't know about you guys, but I'm dropping this series. It will be a waste of time.

~Synopsis~

The story begins with Blaze—a weapon that is the manifestation of a human's soul. Tooru Kokonoe happens to be qualified for this, but for some reason his Blaze is not a weapon, but a shield. Moreover, he enrolled in a school that teaches combat skills, and thanks to the school's Duo partner system, he ends up living with a beautiful silver-haired girl.
